4/13/2012 Trying to feel alright.

Some really cool action poses tonight with Little John. My two favorites are the one of him doing the jailhouse rock pose and him flying thru the air.

Today wasn't a complete waste of life.
I did a lot of enjoying the weather and making sure to take in the sunset.
I usually miss it because I'm painting. Which I did a lot of today. Check out my progress with my master copy so far.
It's not exactly the most accurate thing in regards to proportions, but with color, I'm fucking nailing it.
I'm pretty proud of this so far.

 

Did some action poses for my Little John character for our Character Development class.

He's going to wield a huge metal pipe, reinforced with rebar, topped with an exhaust pipe with nails and screws drilled into it. It's going to be pretty brutal. I like the few larger poses I did, I didn't explore them too much, and you can tell the ones I liked because I put the pomp and mullet hair in there. :3 

I also spent a lot of time messing around with sketching pin ups. Tried coloring a bit. The more serious one is the one with ribbons.
I like this livefeed thing. It's cool to just get on and entertain people as I skill up.
Hope you guys enjoy yourselves. Most times, it seems, life is too short. But in reality, our brain just forgets the mundane shit. Give yourself a good life and keep it interesting. We only live as 'us' once. I feel like it's very important to explore all possibilities. Selling yourself short is a quick way to regret. I feel that no life should ever be lived in regret.

Oh, forgot to mention, I won the KFMA day contest with my partner Genesis. We are splitting 6 VIP tickets. w00t.

Here's the progress on Little John.
I was officially assigned him today thanks to the push of my peers. I hadn't really felt a strong direction until today. I spent some time drawing in Photoshop having fun, exploring the pompadour mullet combo.

Using limited color, kind of like a digital Zorn palette to get colors and what not for painting women.
I feel like women are a weak spot for me in my drawings. What better excuse to find nice poses and try to recreate them?
I dunno, still need a lot of practice- So here's to it.

So, above is the ideas Genesis and I came up with for the KMFA Day poster contest at school. We decided on a floating space stage above the Earth and floating speakers. Not sure on the colors right now but we should have it done tomorrow. Since it's due tomorrow...

 

Here are more images of my tryptic painting.

Some character development for a post apocalyptic robin hood.
I'm expanding my ideas on little john, king richard and friar tuck.

Just... keep.... breathing...

So here's all the shit I did today! Check it out! Kodiak's model sheets are done. But they are definitely not final. I don't really like his color scheme right now. That's because I don't know what colors Liam is gong to be wearing and what not yet. So that has yet to be decided. I chose this scheme because a lot of my peers agreed that this color scheme looked the coolest out of what I had done at that time.
If you look further down, or up now, from that, there's the progress on my tryptic pieces.
I've only got two done. One is monochromatic, then I have to glaze it.
The second one is abstract representational.
The final piece will be abstract non representational. That'll be done Wednesday, hopefully.
As you can see with the last picture, I started glazing in the colors lightly. Still have a long way to go.
I'm pissed that glazing is like, painting the picture 234 extra times. But what ever it takes to pass the class... Just gotta keep my head up high and keep on marching forward.

Still waiting on my red jumpsuit so I can do my reference photos for my final painting.
Super amped about that one for sure.

Anyways, enjoy those tidbits.
